Uracil-DNA glycosylases preferentially excise mispaired uracil.

The Biochemical journal - 1 Nov 1992

Verri A, Mazzarello P, Spadari S, Focher F

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the substrate specificity of human, viral and bacterial uracil-DNA glycosylases employing as substrate double-stranded oligonucleotides containing in the same position of the 5'-32P-labelled strand an uracil residue facing, on the complementary strand, guanine (mimicking cyto...
